The picture story you find in these pages is the story of your school life. . . your work and your play. It has been a good year, compounded of laughter and tears, victory and failure. This yearbook has no theme as such, but if any message or meaning accompanies our efforts it would be this: That in the years to come you carry the same cheer and hope, the same zest for work and play that we have tried ro capture in the 1951 STINGAREE.
